A liquid when heated in a copper vessel ...

A liquid when heated in a copper vessel and when heated in a silver vessel, the apparent coefficient of expansion is C and S, repsctively. If coefficients of linear expansion of copper is A, then coefficient of linear expansion of silver is

A

`(C+S-3A)/3`

B

`(C+3a-S)/3`

C

`(3A-S-C)/3`

D

`(C+S+3A)/3

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

b) According to relation, Coefficient of apparent expansion = coefficientof real expansion - coefficient of volume expansion
`C= gamma_(L) - 3A`……………….(i)
S= `gamma_(L) - 3Å`……………..(ii)
Where , `Å` = linear expansion of coefficient of silver.
Subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq. (ii) ,we get
S-C = `-3A_(0)+3A`
`therefore` `A_(0) = (3A + C-S)/3`
